Manabi Rising

April 10, 2017

|

Manabi Province was devastated by the earthquake in 2016, but one year later we can see progress in the recovery of many towns. In Pedernales, 1,000 houses have been built so far and a village of 216 homes is near completion. While the level of tourism that supported the economy in Canoa hasn’t returned and government funding is lacking, everyone perseveres, “We are going to get ahead as we have always done.”
